After Lilica had spoken, Aloise nodded taking that it was his turn "I must say that I have quite a bit less in the way of training than Lilica. I have been trained in the basics of my clan, namely Run, Dash, Trick Speed and Sight Trick, all of those enable me to move quickly whilst on my skates and riding my Roads. I have also learned my clan's expression of killing intent, Shadow. I have trained for the event that my skates will be taken from he, boosting my speed and strength and learning to use them in conjunction with one another in order to make myself even faster. Other than that, I have little other than my natural abilities as a Ronin due to the fact that I haven't started training anything for my ability as of yet." He finished talking and realized it must seem like he wasn't prepared for being a Genin at all. He felt like shrinking away a bit, but he didn't. He was a bit undertrained but that could easily be rectified. There was no cause for him to worry.

"Hm, very well. Would you like to show me a demonstration of your skills? Benjamin said shifting ever so slightly into a better stance for combat and waiting for his students to realize exactly what he had just asked them. "It would give me a better understanding on what you can do, as just learning techniques and practicing them is only half the battle, the remaining is knowing when exactly to apply the techniques that you've learned in live combat. Especially if you wish to be a successful shinobi, or at the very least prepared for the Chunin Exams despite them being a ways off." he said knowing that it was more likely on Lilica's mind than the others as she seemed training more than what he expected, but such a good work ethic was good if she wanted to go far in life. For now he knew what he wanted to teach them, how he wanted the squad to be molded, now he needed to see how they fought their own ways and together so he could see exactly how long it'll take the squad to fit his mold.

Lilica nodded and set her Uroktor down on the ground with another stroke of his head, and looking over to Aloise with her first smile to her team mate, then to the silent Kozai. She was just as excited to see what they could do too. Her legs muscles tensed up as she began to lower her centre of gravity. Making a sudden dash, her legs turned the hard push of her C-rank Strength up in to C-rank speed, however her movement went backwards to give herself a little more distance to just 11ft away from Ben. The second her feet found the solid ground again, she pumped her body hard as she bounced right back towards Ben at B-rank Speeds thanks to her Volt Burst. Mid-Burst her hands swept over her hips from her low stance, drawling lightning from around to coat her legs. Whilst she couldn't control the first 10ft of her launch, once she was past that point she had the control again to swing her lightning covered leg directly at Ben's upper arm, backed by the C-rank strength of her legs, as she went right for a Leaf Gale, that, if it hit, would knock him back a further 5ft, lessened by her Faunus strength tier halving any knockback.

Description: Where Faunus naturally gain Strength Tiers, as the species that Lilica belongs to are lithe, it's not unnatural to have their strength be used to compliment their ability for rapid movement. For the appropriate stamina cost, Lilica can transfer her strength in to her legs with each bound to grant an equal amount of speed tier. As Lilica ranks up, she can hold the effect for longer periods of time before she must pay the fatigue cost once again, gaining an extra Round of effect each time she ranks up.

Description: With her focus upon the Lightning Element of the Volt Tribe, and her personal preference towards using speed, Lilica developed a style that allowed her to use the electricity to increase her abilities further. This is done with the slightest touch, transferring electricity through her limbs, allowing her nerves to travel at an accelerated rate in response. Used on top of her tech grants speed tiers, Volt Sprint allows her speed to go one tier higher than her strength. However this also requires her to have reaction tier equal to the new speed, or a Time-Slowing Dojutsu, or she risks running in to anything in the way and unable to stop in time.

Description: Through the excessive movement and the lightning that she naturally generates through her body, Lilica is capable of expending her focus in to channelling that lightning in an manner to give her body an extra layer of static charge. This is generated and focused around her legs. The legs quick movements generate a shroud of lightning materia depending upon the additional stamina spent to create the shroud from her fur. Contact with this shroud then deals hybrid lightning damage equal to the level of materia generated with the shroud. Once anything not Lilica herself comes in to contact with the shroud, the charge is lost and must be rebuilt.

Description: This technique is a good example of how even simple taijutsu can become a pre-eminently destructive, lethal technique. The attack is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing. The goal is to throw the enemy off balance, and deal damage to the lower half of their body. This technique deals damage utilizing the user's strength tiers the higher the damage the farther the knock back and eventual fall damage.Strength Tier - Knockback DistanceD-rank - 5 feetC-rank - 10 feetB-rank - 20 feetA-rank - 40 feetS-rank - 60 Feet

Aloise nodded, yet gave a mental sigh. He had been standing still this entire time, so he had no build up of speed whatsoever. He watched as the rabbit Faunus made her move before giving the Kurogane girl a cursory glance. He patted Scylla's head before squaring his shoulders. He moved towards his sensei at simple D-Rank speeds, much slower than Lilica did, aiming to close the distance between them despite the knockback that the other Genin would've incurred. Once within range of his sensei, Aloise used his speed and his strength combined to lash out at C-Rank++ Speeds in a roundhouse kick used with his shin rather than his toe or instep to execute the attack, resulting in the normal damage of the strike as well as added slicing damage thanks to the surface area of his shin.

Spoiler:

Aloise has been stationary this entire thread, therefore his base movement speed (on his skates) is D-Rank

He strikes out with his leg in a Roundhouse Kick at C-Rank++ Speeds with C-Rank Strength, resulting in C-Rank Physical Damage and 4 D-Ranks of Slicing Damage, due to the tiers involved

Description: Aloise spent his days running. Running from his problems, running to get faster, running to escape. Running helped clear his mind and made him forget that he was lacking, made him forget that he wasn't completely whole. After a while, he began to build up not only his speed but his leg strength as well. Years of refining his running practices finally culminated in the creation of this Speed + Strength tier chain. Using both his Speed and Strength to move enabled him to break through barriers of speed that he had not yet known existed. This technique allows Aloise to move at C-Rank++ Speed tiers, enabling him to surpass even Samurai when he is running full tilt. Aloise is able to take this even further, however, being able to pay a stamina price equal to 3x the normal price in order to boost his speed another tier level in order to achieve B-Rank- Speed. This boost is subject to recoil and possesses a 3 Turn cooldown before it is able to be used again. Should Aloise possess C-Rank Endurance tiers, this cooldown will be reduced to 3 post (total).

Description: The Kukinorite Clan now have a unique method of close combat fighting, as the originator Jazz D. Kukinorite trained the use of her body to incorporate balance exercises along with various types of kicks. The reason this combat is fighting is that it makes no use of their arms for anything other than positioning the legs are both the Kukinorite's attacking and defensive force, with their body being used for momentum while her arms are used to either steady her balance to execute punishing kicks and front kicks or to rapidly gather momentum for brutal spin kicks. Wáṣerotapa contains a mixture of kicking types ranging from the basic four (Roundhouse, Front, Side & Back), while including advanced kicking types (Axe, Butterfly, Calf, Crescent, Hook, Heel, Vertical) and those which most consider risky in life or death matches (Flying, Multiple, Scissor, Spinning, Drop). Upon this styles introduction into the Kukinorite Clan it has incorporated stomps, sweeps, knees, cartwheels, flips and dives into to increase its versatility and the momentum an individual is capable of generating to exert more force to their opponent. In addition to the balance exercises the Kukinorite is forced to constantly do flexibility exercises to ensure their ability to stretch and contort their body more freely to avoid counter attacks as well as execute kicks which would throw one not used to constantly hampering their balance by throwing out kicks. When utilizing this fighting style along side Chakra Skates the Kukinorite is capable of preforming more advanced aerial kicks by riding along air currents to sustain their momentum and "step" on air to rapidly alter the trajectory and momentum built up in preparation for a kick.

Description: A roundhouse kick is a kick in which the attacker swings his or her leg around in a semicircular motion, striking with the front of the leg or foot moving at bullet release speeds to deal C-rank physical damage. In most stances, the instep is used to strike, though some stances would allow the shin as official strike point to inflict even more damage as due to the hard surface of one's shin it is actually able to inflict D-rank slicing damage. Additional tiers only serve to augment the power and slicing ability (Str) in addition to the speed of execution (Spd). To execute, the attacker swings their leg sideways in a circular motion, kicking the opponent's side with the front of the leg, usually with the instep, ball of the foot, toe, or shin. Due to its power, the roundhouse kick may also be performed at low level against targets, such as the knees, calf, or even thigh, since attacking leg muscles will often cripple an opponent's mobility. It is the most popular type of kick within Wáṣerotapa due to its versatility due to stance changes as well as it's power as it can be used in many situations.Strength Tier - Slicing DamageNone - DD - 2 DC - 4 D

Benjamin would sidestep the jumping Faunus while moving at A-rank speed, having merely wanted to see what her opener would be, on the other hand when it came to Aloise's attack he noticed that both of them had opted to start with kicks first. This time however he would turn to sustain the kick but considering his defenses were pretty sturdy the Kukinorite would find himself being knocked flying in the direction of his teammate. "Rushing at a opponent is liable to get you tossed about and broken, next time instead of using your body as a way to measure what your target can do, use a decoy or perhaps something disposable like shuriken." Benjamin said calmly waiting for his students to pick themselves up if his reactions managed to jostle them around, otherwise he would do so while watching to see what else they wished to try.

Spoiler:

A-rank Speed used to avoid Lilica's strike, B-rank Defense used to block Aloise's. Aloise requires B-rank+ Strength to negate the knock-back otherwise he will travel up to 45 ft while moving at B-rank speeds to collide with Lilica to sustain B-rank damage (split between both of you)

Description: Weaponkin are naturally disposed to Defense tiers as part of their inorganic bodies and pseudo-mechanical physiology. However Weaponkin defense tiers are different compared to those of Ronin as they do not just accept impacts but the energy of strikes against them, even ones that breach the defenses, are channeled back out into the point of the strike unleashing it in the form of a concussive impact. This counts as B-Rank defense tiers but when struck causes knockback requiring strength tiers to anchor one's self in place to avoid being sent flying backwards depending on the power of the user's defense tiers. Alternatively, the Weaponkin can allow the impact to work on themselves, launching them a distance backwards away from the foe with physical damage being sustained upon striking an object depending on the force of the knockback, mitigated immediately due to the Weaponkin's defense tiers. This effect changes when in full Weapon Form, during that the Weaponkin loses the knockback effect but this counts as a B-Rank counter weapon destruction technique.Defense Tier - Knockback Force - Str. To Negate - Distance(ft) - Damage(Physical)D - D - D+ - 15 - DC - C - C+ - 30 - CB - B - B+ - 45 - BA - A - A+ - 60 - AS - S - S+ - 75 - S

Lilica knew he would be faster than her, but he did ask them to show what they were capable of. Of course this was exactly what she wanted, and she was preemptively taking Ben's advise. "I'm working on that," As she stopped on her feet just a couple of feet behind him, she put her hands together and focused. All of her fur suddenly buzzed, before that crackling electricity was suddenly thrown out in a dome of electricity. She kept it low powered and low cost, she had no doubt Ben could stop her and she was simply showcasing her fight strategy. She sent the surge out of her, making sure to hold some of it back to keep from hitting Aloise with it, letting loose her B-rank discharge, requiring Ben to possess B-rank reaction speed to even see it in time, and B+ or higher to dodge, which she knew he possessed in the latter. After the surge was released, she panted as her body gave off a little steam whilst her body worked at re-creating the natural lightning element.

Beasts Discharge used with B-rank speed of discharge, Lilica burned out for 6pt, at C-rank she recovers 2 every pt. No access to lightning beast arts until next post

Description: As a method of defence and repulsion, Lilica is able to channel her electricity through her very skin in a large gathering, from which then she could throw her arms out venting the built up electricity in up to a 10ft radius. The whole effect is done in the blink on an eye, requiring a reaction speed and speed tier equal to the speed of the discharge, in turn controlled by how much fatigue she pays. In turn however, the higher and stronger the discharge, the longer it then takes for Lilica to recover her lightning element as she burns herself out. Due to the need to build up, the user must perform Discharge stood in place.

Description: This technique allows the user to make a shadow clone infused with lightning. Because it is a shadow clone, it is able to perform techniques and interact with the environment due to it having physical substance; and also evenly distributes the user's chakra to each clone. If the clone is injured, it will revert to its natural lightning-state, at the same time electrocuting whatever it is touching to deal A-rank Lightning Release shocking damage. Unlike a regular Shadow Clone, this clone does not send chakra back to the user upon reverting to lightning and it is trap based not being required to be placed in spoiler tags (Shadow Clone technique is placed instead) unless an opponent has an A-rank chakra sensory technique capable of discerning concealed elemental natures.

Aloise's hit landed, but he was thrown away by his sensei's defenses, much to his dismay. He found himself being knocked off his feet and flung in Lilica's direction, though he was a Kukinorite and more than familiar with fighting with no ground under him. He quickly twisted and slammed his hand into the ground with C-Rank Strength, punching through the earth and stopping or at least slowing his flight. Lilica's attack moved past him and he used that as his chance to move around at D-Rank Speed while keeping his distance, determined to keep moving in order to pick up speed "I apologize, Sensei. I do not know any Shurikenjutsu at this time, do you have any suggestions?" He was hoping the other could tell him something on the subject, as Aloise was lost.

Description: In ancient times the Gravity Children were required to go through zero gravity training, to make them capable of fully utilizing the Roads prowess. Through this training a couple of things were revealed, one is that the usage of the Roads is stressful on the body, the Roads dealing recoil to the Kukinorite every time a technique is used. The other thing is that due to the alteration in their bodies, the Kukinorite endure conditioning and flexibility exercises in order to be able to contort their body while in a free-fall. As a result they are highly proficient in mid-air combat with the skill of the user granting them the ability to control their movements after jumping or while falling at varying distances above ground. This however is limited by the speed they are moving as if the Kukinorite is not capable of said speed even while falling then it hampers their ability to dodge mid-air like non-kukinorite. Due to the nature of this technique, it is required for one to begin learning the Roads.Rank of Technique – Rank of StrainC-rank deal D-rank recoilB-rank deal C-rank recoilA-rank deal B-rank recoilS-rank deal A-rank recoilSS-rank deal S-rank recoilSSS-rank deal SS-rank recoil*Note1.

Benjamin would notice the electricity pouring out of his student in a barely controlled burst and would quickly dark to the side away from it's expansion still moving at his heightened amount of speed he would however remark back to their comments after all it was a test and he was thankful Aloise was asking him for advice. "Most shinobi tend to go for throwing shuriken due to their ability to be be thrown in great numbers in comparison to the other thrown weapons or kunai simply because tags can be added to them typically being those of the explosive variety. Less common however are senbon due to the difficulty of using them in a lethal manner unless your accuracy is extremely precise and you have some medical background. However my clan is knowledgeable in acupuncture thus, I prefer them to normal throwing weapons. Though I would say you should stick to other objects, like perhaps spherical ones. Are you familiar with the game ping pong?" he said shifting directions and heading straight towards Lilica lowering his speed however to B-rank so that she would have a better chance of defending herself. Once he got close he would throw out his hand attempting to grab her and wondering what she would possibly do in response.

Lilica panted, thankful for the second to catch her breath and recover as Ben moved faster than her lightning outburst. Sure it might not be well controlled, but it was created to be fast after all. Clenching her fists she felt the static of her lightning returning just as Ben was charging in to her at B-speeds. Seeing he was going for a grab she could simply let him before moving on to her technique as she was still showing what she could do. The second she was grabbed, her knee was suddenly driven up in to his chest, followed shortly by her other as she demonstrated the Strong Fist technique she had learned, one that worked perfectly with her naturally powerful legs, as she used the gap her knees caused to spring off to break the grab. Immediately after the grab break she could make use of her natural balance to self-right and land depending on how Ben took it.

Description: A counter grabbing technique in which the user who is grabbed from the front quickly lifts their leg kneeing the opponent in the chest or abdomen with enough force to force them to break the grab. This technique is done with the intention of forcing a victim to release the user via pain however it is more specifically a means to give space between them and the opponent attempting to grab them allowing the user to repeat the technique with their other leg before allowing them to spring board off the opponent to forcibly breakout of a grab as long as they have strength tiers equal to the strength that their opponent is grabbing them or one rank lower if they aren't being grabbed with both arms. This plays on the fact that ones legs are stronger than their arms and due to the fact that they are using both legs to vault off an opponent like a spring board their force would cause the grip of their opponent to slack and ultimately break freeing them from the hold. When vaulting off an opponent if they do not possess strength to lock themselves in the ground they are pressed into the floor however if they lock themselves in place then the user is vaulted into the air at speeds equal to the strength that they kicked off their opponent.Strength Tier - Distance VaultedD - 5 FeetC - 10 FeetB - 15 FeetA - 20 FeetS - 25 Feet

Aloise listened to his sensei and nodded once he was done, still keeping up his continuous skating in circles to build up enough speed "I am familiar with ping-pong, yes. It's a game where two players, maybe more depending on how you play, have paddles and work to bounce a plastic ball back and forth, with the person who gets the other to miss the ball gain a point. Some people play with two paddles in each hand for more difficulty. I have played more than a few times with friends, sake-pong is especially fun..." He blushed thinking about his party phase, but turned his attention back to his teacher "Anyways are you suggesting I use that as a basis for a fighting style?" He was curious about how that would work. He supposed he could use balls and bounce them between enemies, with or without a paddle. He really wanted to know Ben's thoughts on it.

Benjamin would succeed in grabbing her, however when she followed up with a quick counter he would receive the blow with the arm he used to grab her stretching a bit but otherwise he wouldn't be phased nor would he let go. "Precisely, your Ronin ability has great synergy with it." Benjamin said before moving in order to coil his body around Lilica's holding her in place so that she could not escape. "For a strike based opponent like yourself grappler's are dangerous it's one of the reasons why despite the power of physical based combat methods have arisen to counterbalance them. For instance, you assumed that you would easily be able to break out of my grab when in actuality if this was a real fight I would reply with breaking your neck at this point." he said calmly deciding to merely hold her hostage while waiting to see what Aloise would do in order to rescue her.

Spoiler:

Benjamin is A-rank thus he can stretch an additional 4 ft which allows him to completely bind each of Lilica's limbs with his own.Blunt Resistance + Defense Tiers negates damage from Leaf Break likewise Benjamin sustains no pain from the impact either.

Description: This technique is the signature fighting style of the Yaju Clan and becomes greatly enhanced when used in sync with Soft Physique Modification. This style involves the dislocation of the opponents joints in controlled smooth movements in addition advanced uses of this fighting style involve dislocating almost any joint including the opponents elbows and knees. Despite being rather brutal it is a primarily defensive form of fighting as opponent that attempt to attack the user will be countered by having their body broken. In order to prepare for such a style they are drilled from their youth in order to maximize their flexibility allowing them when confronted with submission based techniques to outlast normal individuals. This flexibility is maintained overtime requiring a Yaju to constantly be in prime condition in order to reap the benefits of such a style. They are able to do a Weekly Training in order to recondition their body however if they go a while without training they begin to lose their flexibility and thus particular body parts of their body once again become vulnerable to being targeted (Word Count cost reverts down 1 level for example if the 750 training is missed the next weekly will be back to being 1000).Word Count (OOC Time before Retraining) - Body Part (Submit Countdown Modifier)1000 (1 Week) - Arm (+5 P.T)750 (2 Weeks) - Leg (+10 P.T)500 (3 Weeks) - Back (+15 P.T)250 (1 Month) - Head (+20 P.T)

Description: Req. to be learned at either D-rank or C-rank [Low]. This is a unique Kinjutsu technique taught to those within the Yaju Clan while they are children and their bodies haven't become fully developed. After a series of surgeries the user is able to dislocate the joints in their body and then guide their softened body by cycling chakra within their body. This allows them to bend their body at any angle, elongating and coiling around their opponent. This can even be used for defensive purposes as their body becomes malleable and able to cushion impacts (Blunt Resistance) from physical blows as long as it is blunt force rather than cutting or piercing. This technique does not consume chakra however it does require the user to still possess a chakra supply to initiate and depending on their chakra reserves their ability to stretch will be diminished.Rank/Defense Tiers - Maximum Additional Length when Stretching (Chakra Reserves Modifier) - Blunt Dmg ResistanceD - 1 ft (Max = N/A) - N/AC - 2 ft (3/4 = -6 Inches) - DB - 3 ft (1/2 = -1 ft) - CA - 4 ft (1/4 = -2 ft) - BS - 5 ft (Near Empty = -4 ft) - A
